Callum Damian Peter Morton (born 19 January 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Peterborough United on loan from West Bromwich Albion.
Career[]
Born in Torquay, England,[3] Morton joined the youth academy of Yeovil Town in 2015 signing a two-year scholarship in February 2016.[4] In January 2017, after scoring against them the previous month in Yeovil's 3–2 FA Youth Cup victory,[5] Morton signed for West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.[6]
In January 2020 Morton joined Northampton Town on loan.[7] In June 2020 he won the EFL League Two Play-Offs with Northampton; he scored twice in the semi-final second leg against Cheltenham Town to help them overturn a 2–0 first leg deficit, and then scored once in the final as they defeated Exeter City 4–0.[8][9]
On 4 September 2020, it was announced that Morton, alongside West Brom team mate Alex Palmer, had joined Lincoln City on loan for the season.[10][11] He made his debut for Lincoln the next day, coming off the bench in the first round of the EFL Cup.[12] In the following round he would score his first goal for Lincoln City in a 5–0 win over Bradford City.[13] On 25 September, it was announced that Morton had suffered a shoulder injury and would miss a number of games.[14] On 3 November 2020, Lincoln City stated that Morton's injury had not improved as much as hoped, and that surgery might be required.[15] In January 2021 it was announced that his recovery was nearing its end and that it was hoped he would be available to play in February.[16] He would return to action on 2 March 2021, coming off the bench against Fleetwood Town and scoring a goal for Lincoln City.[17]
He moved on loan to Fleetwood Town in July 2021.[18] After scoring seven goals in twenty-two appearances in all competitions, Morton was recalled by West Brom on 8 January 2022.[19]
On 13 January 2022, Morton joined Championship side Peterborough United on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[20][21]
